Award-winning author Philip K. Howard lays out the blueprint for a new American society.

Praise for Philip K. Howard's previous books:

The Rule of Nobody: Saving America from Dead Law and Broken Government
"Amid the liberal-conservative ideological clash that paralyzes our government, it's refreshing to encounter the views of Philip K. Howard, whose ideology is common sense spiked with a sense of urgency...[This] book drives home some large truths."
- Stuart Taylor Jr., Wall Street Journal

The Death of Common Sense: How Law Is Suffocating America
"The delights of this policy prose poem lie in its perfect details, its civilized tone, its sure sense of where the ill-made legal shoe pinches."
- Wall Street Journal

"[Philip K.] Howard's argument is fresh, reflecting an impressive combination of wisdom, wry humor, and quiet passion...When we think about 'reinventing government,' it's a good place to start."
- New York Times Book Review
